I have used a patterned paper from the set 'Chronology' by Docrafts, glued it to a cardstock with gel medium, for more sturdiness. One coat of white gesso and added a piece of Tissue Wrap - Postale by Tim Holtz...added Modeling Paste for more texture using 2 Layering Stencils by Tim Holtz - Gears and Industrial.

I colored the Tag using Distress Stains - Antiqued Bronze, Tarnished Brass e Brushed Pewter, sprayed with water, dried and added a 'Crackle' stamp here and there. Used Distress Inks - Hickory Smoke, Ground Espresso e Black Soot on borders and on the Tag ...and this is the akward moment when I realised that I loved so much the background that I didn't want to cover it up!!!Lol!

I decided to use a digital image from 'Age of Steam' digikit by DaisyTrail and to color it with Distress Markers, Tombow dual brush pens and Faber-Castell Polychromos. Added few die-cut gears, aged and 'rusty', and a sentiment made with my Dymo. Final touches with few embellishments and voilà...we are ready for the Journey!
